When I was a teenager in the '90s, my boyfriend at the time gave me his old skateboard.

The trucks and wheels were fine, but the deck was heavily used and the design had been scraped off most of the bottom, so I took some paint markers and decorated it by painting a black and white checkerboard background with a large stormtrooper head in the foreground because Star Wars and ska were two of my favorite things at the time.

I was mostly just a poser and barely rode it and it remained in the back of my car for several years until I was at a sporting goods store and saw a kid doing tricks on a demo deck and I told him he was really good and he said "Thanks! I have to practice here because I don’t have a skateboard."

At that moment, I remembered my backseat skateboard and told him he could have it, but warned him that the "graphic" was kind of nerdy so he was more than welcome to draw/paint over it.

I went out to my car and grabbed the skateboard and brought it to the front of the store where the kid was waiting and he flipped it over and said "Whoa! Star Wars and ska?!? These are two of my favorite things!"

I’m so glad that skateboard finally found the right owner.

bad gramps ;)

@RickiTarr

what brought this on

@RickiTarr My partner is a full foot shorter than me but her inside leg is longer than mine.

Our sons inherited my long body and her long legs. They were not comfortable pregnancies and cost us a fortune in clothes :)

I think it's her that has a thing for tall men though. I didn't get much choice in the matter ;)

Initial report of breakage in ledger-cli caused by Claude.

I haven't verified this yet, and this is a pre-release version of ledger-cli, but still worrying.

With many thanks to Anthropic for supporting the Ledger project

@zyd

seeing how the tech bros scraped llm trainng data off the net regardless of licences ultimately any vide code is potentially tainted so will it ever be accepted?

@dick_turpin

I ran it against debian, but some packages were only half heartedly maintained, once you learned how to declare packages it was easy enough. But modern hw helps, a 2008 Thinkpad probably wasn't a good idea.

The right wingers falsely demonized Hillary and Kamala so much, and still do, that instead they'd rather elect the closest thing to the antichrist that this world has ever seen. A certifiable malignant narcissist, who never once heard of a law he didn't want to break just to prove he could get away with it, as he always does, and still to this very day.

But elect a woman? Oh, hell, no!

@dick_turpin

For your experience it shouldnt be too difficult to install, the only issues are if the packages you want are actively maintained & the ecosystem hasnt fallen apart.
